Step 12: Finish

This instructable shows how to make a vise-grip slide hammer. The slide hammer can be used for about anything that you can think of. If you can clamp it with the vise-grips, you will be able to pull what is stuck free.

<p>Great I'ble -- the amount of uses for a slide hammer are surprisingly high!!</p>

<p>Nice. For anyone wondering if you really need a slide hammer, it's the difference between tearing your hair out for an hour and being done in ten seconds. This is a cool addition.</p>

Really cool!

Dad used this method, except with a threaded hole drilled into the center of a main bearing pin on a printing press. As far as I know, there would otherwise be no way to dig that pin out of its channel, being completely flush with the shaft that it engaged. Non-spooky action at a distance! <br> <br>Mike

now if I just had the tools to make this one...

Cool idea but what would you use this for?

umm dent puller <br>

Very good idea. Now off to the work shop to gather up the materials.

I made something like this a good few years ago and it is a truly 'must have' tool. Thank you very much for having the energy to bring the idea to a wider public :-) <br> <br>I wish you well, <br>Steve.

Excellent idea!

Great hack on traditional tool. We used to use these to clean die casting from injection molding machines. A screw in the vise grips and ya have a dent remover . Well done!!
